Hornets' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: Minimal usage in overtime loss

Kidd-Gilchrist tallied just two points (1-3 FG) along with six rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes in Sunday's 124-121 overtime loss to the Clippers.

MKG typically doesn't offer much on the scoreboard but makes up for it with above-average work on the glass. However, he was quiet across the board Sunday, taking his his second-lowest amount of shot attempts on the season and equaling his least amount of rebounds in 10 February contests as well. Kidd-Gilchrist also saw his fewest amount of minutes since Jan. 28 due to the fact he fouled out, which naturally played a part in the overall downturn. The disappointing effort appears to be an outlier in many respects, one that the 23-year-old will try to bounce back from in Tuesday's tilt versus the Lakers.
